This 54-year-old man was referred because of sudden symptoms in his opposite eye in which he had suffered an acute retinal detachment secondary to a horseshoe tear around lattice degeneration. During the examination, the fellow eye shown here was also found to have this large horseshoe tear about 1 o’clock hour (4 disc diameters) in size. A tear occurred around a lattice lesion which is present on the flap but is out of focus. This tear had been asymptomatic even though it was caused by a posterior vitreous detachment and illustrates that even very large tears may produce no symptoms or mild symptoms that are easily overlooked.

Endoscopically controlled surgical repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a phakic glaucoma patient with a fixed miotic pupil. The formed vitreous is still attached in the posterior pole but separated peripherally. A horseshoe tear is located in the superior nasal portion of the globe. The flap is trimmed and the posterior formed vitreous face is removed from the optic nerve and posterior pole with an open vertical scissors blade. An air fluid exchange through the break completes the reattachment.

This horseshoe tear was the cause of the detachment in this 54-year-old man. The orange area on the right half of the slide represents the area of scleral indentation. Please note that most of the tear lies over the indented area and appears orange. However, the extreme left side of the tear is brownish black in color because it is exactly superimposed over the dark shadow that always lies just beyond the indented area. The ability of scleral indentation to produce this color change combined with a sharp demarcation between the blackish area and the yellowish edge of intact retina is a pathognomonic sign of a full thickness retinal break.
